PlayStation Now streaming service now offers game downloads

Sony’s PlayStation Now streaming service is getting a very welcome feature: game downloads. PS Now is a sort Netflix-like subscription platform where users can stream PS2, PS3, and PS4 titles. Soon, users will be able to download those games for offline play as well. The company says that “almost all” PS4 games will support downloads, as will all PS2 titles. There’s no word on PS3 games, though.

You’ll also be able to transfer save data from the cloud to your console so you can play without an internet connection. Sony says that “you will need to connect your PS4 system to the internet every few days to verify your PS Now subscription, even if you’re only playing downloaded games.”
